• If both filename.sha256 and filename.md5 are present, SHA256 validation has a higher priority compared with MD5
validation.
• If filename.sha256 or filename.md5 alone is present, the corresponding type of validation is completed.
b When you enable FIPs mode:
• MD5 validation is not used. BMP checks only for the filename.sha256 and not filename.md5.
• If filename.sha256 is present, it uses SHA256 validation or the image downloads without SHA256 validation.
– Syslog for SHA256VALIDATION success on downloading an image le and conguration/pre-script le:
00:03:07: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_SHA256_VALIDATE_SUCCESS: The Dell EMC
Networking OS image SHA256 Checksum Validation Succeeded.
00:01:15: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_SHA256_VALIDATE_SUCCESS: The
Config/Script SHA256 Checksum Validation Succeeded.
– Syslog for SHA256VALIDATION failure on downloading an image le and conguration/pre-script le:
00:03:22: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-2-BMP_SHA256_VALIDATE_FAILURE: The Dell EMC
Networking OS image SHA256 Checksum Validation Failed.
00:03:22: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-2-BMP_SHA256_VALIDATE_FAILURE: The
Config/Script SHA256 Checksum Validation Failed.
BMP Mode - Boot and Set-up Behavior
When you congure a switch to reload in BMP mode, one of the following scenarios may occur:
• Reload Without a DHCP Server Oer
• Reload with a DHCP Server Oer Without a Dell EMC Networking OS Oer
• Reload with a DHCP Server Oer and no Conguration File
• Reload with a DHCP Server Oer Without a DNS Server
• Pre-conguration Scripts
• Post-conguration Scripts
• Auto-Execution Scripts
Reload Without a DHCP Server Oer
A switch is congured to reload in BMP mode. If the DHCP server cannot be reached, the system keeps on sending DISCOVER messages.
00:03:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Ma 0/0.
00:03:56: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/21.
00:03:55: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/8.
00:03:41: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Ma 0/0.
00:03:40: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/21.
00:03:40: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/8.
00:03:25: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Ma 0/0.
00:03:25: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/21.
00:03:25: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %BMP-5-BMP_DISCOVER: DHCP DISCOVER
sent on Te 0/8.
